Why do we sit in the stands at an event?

(Actually, I guess it wouldn't, since all of them were inside [quotes].)

Greg,

Did you ever consider that someone back in the history of the States had to start these misspellings, and thereby changed the whole course of American English?

Your constant prodding to spell things "correctly" is probably retarding development of the language immensely! 200 years from now, your descendants probably won't even recognise "CUL8R".

wlel I konw taht I can raed. And if you can raed tihs tehn you can too. Terhe was a sudty taht dalet wtih the hamun bairn, and how it raetcs wehn wrdos are msisellped. As lnog as the fsirt and lsat lteters are the smae as tehy nrmolaly wulod be tehn a preosrn can raed it.

So basically this just shows that spelling really doesn't matter at all.

These great responses are proof that CD is the greatest! Since we shipped our robot I am afraid I have not exercised my brain enough. Thank you, one and all!

Well.. motor vehicles are not allowed on bike paths or bridal trails (horse trails for all you uninformed folks), so I can't use my DC motor powered Segway on them. but I can ride my engine powered dirt bike on it at 20 miles an hour plus..

I love signs. Don't you?

Defence, defense, it seriously looks the same to me.

And because our robot is so picky this year, and I can't seem to make up my mind which is right, its gone off and stuck to offence. But wait, is it offence or offense? It seems as though our robot is confused again! To play offen(c/s)e or defen(c/s)e?

Eh, I'd go with just plain winning. But the robot has a mind of its own now. I guess its a programming problem.

Hmm, I'm still sitting on defence about this issue.
